People who eat this to gain muscle lose their hair.

Most people who want to build muscle quickly take protein supplements. While they're easier to consume than chicken breast, overindulging can lead to unexpected side effects: hair loss.

 

Most protein supplements contain creatine, which provides energy to muscles. Excessive creatine intake, such as from supplements, can temporarily cause hair loss. This is because creatine increases dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that causes hair loss. DHT is a type of male hormone that shortens the anagen phase (hair growth) and lengthens the resting phase (hair loss). Therefore, lowering DHT levels is currently the most important treatment for hair loss.

If you're concerned about hair loss, consider taking a moderate amount of a creatine-free protein supplement. The theory that excessive creatine intake can increase DHT levels isn't just theoretical. A research team at Stellenbosch University in South Africa studied the relationship between creatine and DHT, and found that adult men who took 5 grams of creatine for two weeks experienced a more than 40% increase in DHT levels. Fortunately, hair loss caused by excessive creatine intake improves over three to six months after discontinuation.

 

It is not true that you can just take any protein supplement without creatine.

 

Eating too much protein can cause kidney function to decline.

This is because the kidneys are burdened by the nitrogen oxides produced when proteins are metabolized in the body and are excreted through the kidneys.

People with already impaired kidney function should be especially careful.

If so, be careful not to consume too much protein supplements as this may indicate a decline in kidney function.

 

During strength training, consuming 1.2 to 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight is sufficient. For a 70-kg person, this amounts to 84 to 140 grams. In this case, eating three pieces of chicken breast and five eggs per day, along with tofu, vegetables, and soy milk, would eliminate the need for supplements.
